	1. Series 1

**The End**

Damn Lister! thought Rimmer as the command came through the ship's tannoy. Getting put into stasis when I need him!

The last few months on Red Dwarf had been some of the best of Rimmer's sad, pathetic life - not counting the incident at the Captain's table. Teaching Lister had made him, Rimmer, a better technician. Talking through the processes calmed him down and not wanting to screw up in front of Lister meant he thought things through before proceeding.

Maybe I should have told him? Rimmer thought, rushing nervously to fix the drive plate without any preparation.

 

**Future Echoes**

Keep Lister sane? How on Io was he supposed to keep Lister sane? He wasn't even sure how to keep himself sane.

What am I good at? he thought, ignoring the voice inside him that said "nothing". I'm good at following rules, being disciplined, keeping things in order. In short, all the things that Lister hates.

A germ of an idea grew in Rimmer's mind. He could do all the things he was good at and still fulfil his mission. Drive Lister insane to keep him sane. It was worth a shot.

 

**Balance of Power**

Rimmer chuckled to himself secretly - so far so good! It wasn't even that difficult, he just had to do what came naturally.

It was a fine line between irritating Lister enough to keep him on his toes and being such a tyrant that he drove Lister away. After all, the goal was to make proving Rimmer wrong Lister's raison d'etre, not to make him suicidal. So Rimmer was glad that Lister seemed to be trying to improve himself - as long as he didn't do too well of course.

 

**Waiting for God**

In the dark they could talk. Almost like they were normal room-mates, sharing stories at the end of a long day at work. During the day the bickering went on and the more tired they were, the more childish the name calling. Rimmer reacted to the news that Lister was the Cat God by muttering variations of Cloister the Stupid that got more and more insulting.

Lister started to look forward to bedtime.

 

**Confidence and Paranoia**

"You should have seen his face! What idiot doesn't realise space will kill you?!" said Lister.

"Well he was part of you!" snorted Rimmer. Lister hesitated, then decided it was funny and dissolved into giggles when Rimmer did an impression of his head blowing up.

"And what about the 'indling' song?" Rimmer was giggling too.

"Hey! Don't insult my music!" but he was still laughing.

He reached out to clap a friendly hand on Rimmer's shoulder, forgetting that he couldn't touch his bunkmate. They both looked at the point where Lister's hand passed through Rimmer, then collapsed into more giggles.

 

**Me2**

Even Rimmer had to admit he'd taken 'annoy Lister to keep him sane' too far this time. That other version of him had been a complete and total smeghead! Thank goodness Lister had been there to turn off that megalomaniac. Rimmer smiled to himself, happy to still be around but even happier at the thought that Lister had chosen him.


	2. Series 2

**Kryten**

It had been kind of Mr. Lister to ask him to stay, but now that he'd had a taste of freedom he wanted more. He also thought it would be better if he left Mr. Lister and Mr. Rimmer to sort out their differences.

He didn't know much about human relationships but he'd seen enough episodes of Androids to know that sometimes things weren't always as they appeared on the surface.

And while they worked it out he would roam the universe, seeking adventure. Or maybe just find another spaceship to clean.

 

**Better Than Life**

Lister wondered what it was like to be so full of self-loathing that even in a game your brain refused to let you be happy.

For the first time ever he felt sorry for Rimmer, started to think maybe he hadn't given the hologram enough credit for all that he'd been through. That perhaps he could give him a break every now and again. Even do something nice for him.

Lister called Holly to ask him how Rimmer's hologram projection unit worked.

 

**Thanks for the Memory**

Even though it had backfired spectacularly, once Rimmer had cooled down he began to realise what an amazing thing Lister had tried to do for him. For **him**!

Ideas and feelings that had been bubbling around in his brain suddenly coalesced.

He liked Lister. A lot.

He wasn't sure how, but Lister had gone from being the laziest slob in the known universe to the single most important thing in his existence. Lister was still the former, but now it was sort of cute.

As if things weren't complicated enough, he had fallen in lo... Rimmer couldn't finish the thought.

 

**Stasis Leak**

With his new found self-awareness Lister-wise, Rimmer was finding it difficult to be in the same room without blushing every time Lister looked at him. Luckily the whole stasis leak thing gave him an excuse to avoid contact. And he really did want to save himself! He had a vague idea that he could explain the Lister situation to his old self and that somehow things would work out.

Plus the thought of having Kochanski on board with Dave mooning over her made his insides boil with jealousy. 

 

**Queeg**

As Rimmer ran past him for the umpteenth time, Lister couldn’t help staring. Rimmer was on the skinny side, but surprisingly strong. Tall, lean and finely muscled, just the way Lister liked a body to be. He hoped Queeg would make Rimmer run another circuit.

What am I doin’? he thought, shaking his head. Why am I thinking about Rimmer like _that_?! I must be lightheaded from lack of food and being on my knees for too long.

There were much better things you could do on your knees…

Oh smeg, he thought, I really am losing it.

 

**Parallel Universe**

Surprisingly, Rimmer had been patient and helpful throughout the whole pregnancy ordeal. Not so surprisingly, the Cat had been completely disinterested from start to finish, so Lister didn't know what he would have done without Rimmer.

"Hey man," he said when it was all over. "I know I don't say this enough but I'm really glad you're here with me. Honest."

"Actually you've never said that. But thanks," Rimmer said, hoping he wasn't blushing. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the universe, he added to himself.


	3. Series 3

**Backwards**

At first Rimmer resented the addition of Kryten to the crew, especially as the mechanoid and Lister seemed to bond almost immediately. Yes, he was definitely jealous of that.

But after a while he came to see Kryten being on board as a good thing. It was certainly helping Dave to have another being to talk to and it took some of the pressure off Rimmer having to think of more weird and wonderful ways to keep Lister amused.

It also gave him someone else to be an officious bastard to.

 

**Marooned**

I hate being a hologram! thought Rimmer, not for the first time. But this time his frustration was not purely selfish - he wanted to hug Dave, take away his fear, warm him up. The fact that in a real body this might have lead to something more physical wasn't lost on Rimmer, although he was pretty intimidated by Lister's sexual history.

Twelve?!

 

**Polymorph**

More proof of Lister's sexual prowess was exactly what he did not need. More proof that Lister was too good for him. Lister had the capacity to be fearless, selfless, generous, whereas inside Rimmer was more-or-less what he appeared to be on the outside.

No version of Rimmer would ever be the 'save your shipmates with no regard to your own safety' type.

Let's face it Arn, he admitted to himself, there's no way Dave would ever be interested in you and even if he was, you're not good enough for him. That thought made him very angry.

 

**Bodyswap**

Oh smeg, Rimmer thought, taking off the blindfold. Oh smeg, smeg, smeg, he thought, laying down the tongs and tentatively taking hold of the monster. Oh smegging hell, he thought as he rushed off to find somewhere private.

*****

Lister caught sight of himself in the mirror, in Rimmer's body, wearing leathers. I look hot! he thought. Hang on, I mean Rimmer looks hot. Oh god this is a confusing day.

 

**Timeslides**

"This was a great idea, thanks man," said Lister, stretching out luxuriously on the warm sand.

In front of them the beach stretched away to the sea; the Cat was prancing at the edge of the waves, showing off his body in a tiny sequinned speedo. So far none of the women were impressed.

"It was Kryten who developed the photo, not me."

"Well, thanks anyway," Lister closed his eyes to sleep.

"Whatever," said Rimmer, not mentioning that he'd followed Kryten around for an hour shouting 'Acapulco!' until he relented.

Anything for you, he added in his head.

 

**The Last Day**

As they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters, Lister tried to use Rimmer to keep himself upright, then remembered he couldn't touch the hologram. Always a touchy-feely person, Lister missed human contact and when he was drunk he got even more handsy.

"Hey man," he slurred at Rimmer. "I wishhh...wish you weren't dead."

"Yes, it had occurred to me that might be a better state of affairs," he snorted.

"Cos, y'know..."

"Y'know what?" Rimmer peered at Lister who had a sentimental look on his face.

"I wish I could hug you."

Me too Listy, thought Rimmer. Me too.


	4. Series 4

**Camille**

I don't get it, thought Rimmer. Why didn't I see Dave when I looked at the pleasure GELF?

"Kryten?" he asked tentatively, not wanting to give too much away. "If you...um, liked...someone, would you always see the pleasure GELF as them?"

"Not necessarily sir. The pleasure GELF taps into your subconscious, so if your subconscious decided the person you liked wasn't suitable, it would project a different image. Someone more, well, suitable."

So even my subconscious thinks Lister is too good for me? thought Rimmer despairingly. Damn my psyche!

 

**DNA**

"Arn?"

Rimmer went still. Lister only called him by his first name if he wanted a favour or was about to ask something personal.

"Yes?"

"Why haven't you turned off your ageing algorithm? You could still look 28."

"It got corrupted. That time I lost my legs. Why?"

"Just wondering," Lister went back to his comic.

Rimmer exhaled quietly, the only sign that he'd lied. Keeping Lister sane also meant keeping time with him so that the passing years were less obvious. He'd ordered Holly to put a password on the algorithm override years ago.

 

**Justice**

"Thanks for coming to see me man!" Lister said sarcastically as they manhandled the pod into Starbug.

"I was busy!" retorted Rimmer, putting on his best superior expression.

He couldn't admit, not out loud, that the sight of Lister weak and ill was what had sent him scurrying to the depths of the ship. The thought that he might lose the one person that had given any meaning to his life...and death...was too much to face so he had done what came naturally, he had run away.

 

**White Hole**

Lister, although he wouldn’t admit it, was extremely upset. No one believed he could pull off this shot! Although Kryten couldn’t be expected to make a judgement on talent, he only looked at logic, and the Cat couldn’t be trusted to make a reasonable judgement on anything. So really he was upset that Rimmer didn’t believe in him.

Why doesn’t he have faith in me? What do I have to do to prove to him that I’m not totally irresponsible? Why do I even care what Rimmer thinks?

Now he was upset **and** confused, so he opened another lager.

 

**Dimension Jump**

Ace's visit caused quite a few emotions in the crew - hair-envy, anger, happiness mode and a fair amount of sexual confusion.

It wasn't just Holly who was knocked sideways by Ace, Lister couldn't help leaning into the space adventurer every time he administered one of his trademark handshakes, shoulder hugs or back slaps.

After he'd left, Lister wondered what it would take to bring Ace's best qualities out in this Rimmer. His Rimmer. And whether he could be the one to do it.

 

**Meltdown**

Lister felt empty. Which was strange considering he currently had Rimmer's light bee working its way through his digestive system, along with enough curry to feed most of Bradford. Uncomfortable would have been a better description. Ready to explode, even. But no, what he felt most was...empty.

Oh smeg, he thought, suddenly realising what the problem was. I miss the smug git.


	5. Series 5

**Holoship**

When it came down to it, he would always choose Lister. Over having a ‘real’ body, over sex with multiple partners, over being an officer - although that last one was a close contest.

So really it wouldn't have mattered whom he'd beaten in the challenge, he would have found an excuse to go back to Red Dwarf. When he got back after resigning, he could have sworn that Lister looked happy. For one moment he allowed himself to hope that it was because of him. Then he sighed, remembering he couldn't let Lister throw away his future on a hologram.

 

**The Inquisitor**

What hurt the most, apart from the chains tethering him to Kryten, was that Rimmer had forgotten him. He tried to remind Rimmer who he was, desperately listing the ways they annoyed each other, the intimate things they knew about each other. But Rimmer didn't know him, he spoke to the other Lister instead.

He was jealous of the other Lister. Not just because he got to live, but because he got to live with Arnold.

He tried to stay positive, but if Arnold had forgotten him, he was better off being erased.

 

**Terrorform**

"I really really love ya."

It was true, he did love Rimmer. Rimmer! Lister still couldn't quite believe it himself. Moreover it wasn't fraternal love, it was the get-your-pants-off-because-I-need-to-take-you-to-bed-right-now-and-stay-there-forever type of love.

And just for a moment, Lister imagined a life for them together.

But then Rimmer spoiled it by saying it was ridiculous and would never work. Calling him names. Telling him to forget it. Breaking his heart.

 

**Quarantine**

The only way, Rimmer decided, to ensure that Lister stayed mad at him was to act like a complete and total smeghead. It took effort to squash his feelings and make sure Lister had no idea how much he wanted to say sorry and find a way to be together. But he slipped back into the role of petty bastard fairly easily and on the plus side it annoyed the Cat and Kryten too.

Another plus was that he got to watch Lister all day through the one-way glass. He looked so cute when he was trying to crochet.

 

**Demons and Angels**

This is so wrong, thought Lister. How is this turning me on?

It wasn't the outfit or the whipping, he really wasn't into that. It was the fact that this Rimmer was so confident, so at home in his own, admittedly weird, skin. There was something really sexy about a person knowing what they wanted, who they were and making no apologies for it.

He felt as he had when he'd met Ace - knowing that these other facets of Rimmer were there to be discovered made him want the hologram even more.

Why couldn't his Rimmer have loved him back?

 

**Back to Reality**

"I **am** Rimmer?"

"I'm afraid so," Holly looked sorry for him.

She needn't feel sorry for me, thought Rimmer, thank god I'm really me!

If he'd been that urine-soaked bum then Lister would never have looked twice at him. Not to mention the massive obstacle of them being related. But at least the memory of how good Dave had looked in the hallucination would keep him going for weeks.

All in all he was glad that whole episode hadn't been real.


	6. Series 6

**Psirens**

Lister couldn't help himself - after everything that had happened he still simultaneously found Rimmer to be excruciatingly annoying and completely adorable.

Look at him now, pompously telling them off like a quilted headmaster, his arrogance and cowardliness betrayed every time he opened his perfect pouty lips.

A-dor-able.

 

**Legion**

"Dave, I didn't mean it, I only said all those horrible things because you deserved more than a soft-light hologram. You do believe me don't you?" Rimmer pleaded.

The first thought he'd had after escaping from Legion was: does Dave still want me? But it had taken him days to pluck up the courage to finally reveal his real feelings.

Lister looked at him, tears spilling down his cheeks. Rimmer reached in to wipe one away gently, pleading for forgiveness. Lister smiled. That was the only answer Rimmer needed.

 

**Gunmen of the Apocalypse**

Lister turned over to look at Rimmer. They were having a lazy morning in bed - lazy for Rimmer anyway, if it was up to Lister every day would start at 2pm.

"Can we go back into that western game? Just me and you? You looked sexy in cowboy gear and that 'mano a mano' stuff was a real turn-on." Lister smiled as Rimmer blushed.

"Really?" he said, feeling himself get hot as he always did when Lister complimented him.

"Yeah," Lister moved in closer and whispered. "I thought we could see if your special skills extended to other areas."

 

**Emohawk**

"Thank goodness that's over," said Rimmer, flopping onto the bunk.

"Yeah, it was a bit hairy for a moment," sniggered Lister.

"Pity you had to go through with the wedding."

"I didn't think we'd get the OG unit if I said 'sorry darlin', I've got a boyfriend. Mind if he joins us?'"

Rimmer shuddered at the thought of that particular threesome, then paused.

"Boyfriend?"

"Of course! Is that ok?"

"I've never been anyone's boyfriend," said Rimmer, unable to stop a sappy grin appearing on his face. "It feels good."

"So do you," smiled Lister, pulling the hologram over to snuggle.

 

**Rimmerworld**

"I panicked! I thought you'd gone off me," Rimmer said forlornly.

"Why?!"

"You called her 'a bit of a babe'. What was I supposed to do?"

"Laugh? It was a joke!" Lister smiled, hugging his paranoid boyfriend. Rimmer clung to him; 600 years without Derek, er, Dave had been far too long. At the moment he didn't want to be apart from him for more than 6 seconds.

"How about if I call you 'babe'?" whispered Lister. He felt Rimmer shiver against him, whispering back "yes please" in a tremulous voice.

"I love you....babe."

After that words became unnecessary.

 

**Out of Time**

"Arnie..."

"Dave..."

They stood locked together, arms tightly wound around the other, Lister murmuring into the hologram's neck, Rimmer with his lips pressed against the shorter man's temple. They breathed into each other's skin, fitting together perfectly.

They still bickered, insulted each other, still wound the other up. Lister was forever a lazy slob, Rimmer a cowardly smeghead. But over the past few months, these private stolen moments had become more frequent and infinitely more precious.

They poured all their love for each other into the embrace - they had years left to explore it. Didn't they?


	7. Series 7

**Tikka To Ride**

Arnold was restless, Dave could tell. He'd gone to bed on his own again, not knowing when Arnold would be back from exploring the enlargened Starbug. Finally the door opened and Arnold crept into bed behind him.

"I've been thinking. We should try to alter the timelines again so that neither of us get stuck in space," Rimmer said, sounding enthusiastic for the first time in weeks.

Lister went cold, imagining Rimmer as a tension-popping billionaire and himself as what? A cab driver? Is that what Arnold wanted?

Rimmer smiled, imagining them together on Earth, married with a family.

 

**Stoke Me A Clipper**

It was the worst row they'd ever had, three weeks of no talking and no sex culminating in Lister's abortive visit to the holosuite and Kryten reflating Rachel. In some ways Ace's arrival had been a blessing, at least it had forced them to make up.

In their private goodbye Arnold told Dave he'd been the one to give him the confidence to leave. He meant it as a compliment but Lister couldn't help thinking that it sounded like Rimmer was blaming him. Maybe if they hadn't still been mad at each other, it all would have turned out differently.

 

**Ouroboros**

Kissing Kris wasn't unpleasant, after all he still liked women and Kris was undeniably attractive. But when you are in love with someone else it doesn't matter who you kiss, it's just not the same.

Still, having her on board was a welcome distraction. He missed Arnold so much he couldn't even face eating spicy food. On Lister's pain scale, that was as bad as it got.

 

**Duct Soup**

On her own again in Lister's quarters, Kris wanted nothing more than to strip off her sweaty clothes and relax in the, probably freezing, bath water. Rummaging around for a towel, she found some holophotos that first made her chuckle, then sit to examine more closely.

Some were posed, some swiped from the ship's security footage but Rimmer was in all of them. She noticed his expression softening in the more recent photos and he seemed to grow in stature. The last one was he and Dave with their arms wrapped around each other, smiling happily.

Oh! she thought.

 

**Blue**

Lister scrabbled at his mouth, trying to erase his morning concoction of curry-and-lager breath so that he could chase the taste of his dream - Arnold kissing him as if his life depended on it. It had seemed so real, so familiar. Tears sprang to his eyes; these days they were always hovering just below the surface, dampening his mood.

Later, after Kris had talked to him, he felt better. He had memories - some shared, some private - and they would have to be enough. If not he could always visit The Rimmer Experience again.

 

**Beyond A Joke**

The feeling of losing a crew member was all too familiar and Lister would have done anything to get Kryten back. Unfortunately the sight of Kris and the Cat in their GELF getups brought back memories of his wedding night - not the brief moments he'd spent with his strangely sweet GELF bride, but the time he and Arnold had spent together that night. They had talked about their relationship, planned their future together and made love into the early hours of the morning.

He allowed himself to be pulled along, wiping the tears from his eyes.

 

**Epideme**

As they walked hesitantly through the frozen ship, Lister couldn't help chuckling to himself as he imagined how Rimmer would have behaved if he'd been there.

"Err, very important I stay on Starbug," he would have said as he shuffled nervously away from the door. "I can provide backup from the rear."

He would have stayed on the radio, panicking at every noise, berating them for every decision without offering any constructive advice. Lister would have found it hilarious.

He was so busy imagining Rimmer's cowardly conduct that he failed to notice the huge, dripping stalactite above his head.

 

**Nanarchy**

As they approached the new Red Dwarf, the possibility that the crew might be on board, including another Rimmer, started to dawn on Lister. He was glad he had got his arm back - although he knew it wouldn't have made any difference to Arnold, he wasn't sure how the old Rimmer would have reacted. If indeed it was the old Rimmer on board.

The old Rimmer. Alive. With a real body.

"Kryten!" he shouted. "Get those smeggin' nanobots to put me back to normal...NOW!"


	8. Series 8

**Back In The Red - Part 1**

As they sat there discussing how Rimmer could help him, it almost felt like he was talking to his Rimmer. Especially the refusing to do anything unless it benefited himself in some way, that definitely sounded like his Rimmer.

He was comforted by the solid body next to him, felt relaxed in a way that was totally contradictory to the mess he was in. He shuffled closer to Rimmer so that they were pressed together tightly from shoulder to knee, hoping he wouldn't move away. He didn't.

 

**Back In The Red - Part 2**

I hope he's telling the truth, thought Rimmer, I hope he really can make me an officer. Although if he's telling the truth then I was dead up until a few days ago.

The more he thought about what Lister had told him, the more he believed it. Lister seemed different, more sure of himself, more mature but still with a cheeky side.

Lots of people on Red Dwarf thought Lister was attractive - for the first time Rimmer started to see what all the fuss was about.

 

**Back In The Red - Part 3**

It was great sharing a room - well, cell - again. They quickly fell back into their old relationship: banter, bickering and begrudging respect.

Always appreciative of Rimmer's body, Lister thought the lavender jumpsuit really suited the taller man. He couldn't help staring whenever Rimmer wasn't paying attention.

Lister didn't notice that Rimmer kept looking at him in exactly the same way.

 

**Cassandra**

So Cassandra thought Lister would be jealous of Rimmer and Kochanski together? Well, he was! But not for the reason he said out loud. He was jealous of Kris!

Strangely, Rimmer didn't seem as distraught at being interrupted as he first made out. When they got back to their cell he looked at Lister intently.

"I wouldn't have gone through with it. With Kris I mean."

"Ok?"

"Just thought you should know," said Rimmer, sauntering away, missing nonchalance by a gnat's wing. If the insect in question had been the size of Red Dwarf.

Interesting, thought Lister.

 

**Krytie TV**

Lister looked around the mess room. Most of the men were engaging in surreptitious masturbation under the tables, although some were more interested in the choc ices than the naked bodies on the screen. He wanted to look at Rimmer but was afraid to.

Then he felt a warm hand on his leg, stroking insistently. He looked at Rimmer and was rewarded by a pair of hazel eyes driving into his, blazing with desire. He gasped softly, moved closer and put his hand on the strong thigh next to him. With one thought they rose to leave, together.

 

**Pete - Part 1**

Rimmer found that breathing had become secondary to kissing Lister. Actually everything now took second place to kissing Lister.

The others knew if they wanted to get any sense out of them, they all had to be in a very public place. As soon as there was any semblance of privacy, Lister and Rimmer would be lip-locked, entwined in an embrace so tight it looked like they were one.

For Lister, this time it all felt more intense - Listy and Rimsy in glorious technicolour - and it wasn't long before whispered 'I love you's became part of their nightly routine.

 

**Pete - Part 2**

You would have thought that opportunities for sex were few and far between with a dinosaur rampaging the decks. But even with this fairly large obstacle they managed it.

They snuck into Captain Hollister's quarters and took full advantage of the frankly obscene amount of space in the suite. The bed survived the experience but the desk now wobbled and there was an ornament that probably should be thrown in the incinerator.

Exhilarated, and completely exhausted, they tidied up as best they could and joined hands to make their way back to the others.

 

**Only the Good**

"Oh god, no. No! No, this can't be happening....," Lister could feel his hysteria rising as they made their way around the mirror universe, searching for Rimmer. But it became obvious he had gone back to the original Red Dwarf.

"I can't lose him again," Lister cried, stumbling as the realisation hit him.

He tried to force his way back through the mirror, but Kryten dragged him away screaming.

When he was finally alone he fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably. He'd lost Arnold again. And with him all hope of staying sane in this universe.


	9. Epilogue

"Tell me how you saved Red Dwarf from the microbe again," said Lister, snuggling closer to the almost-real body next to him.

"Listy, I've told you 3 times already. And much as I love stories where I'm the hero, I love being back with you more. And if you don't mind I'd like to shut up and show you just how much I missed you."

Rimmer gathered Lister into his arms, kissing just below his ear to savour the familiar, comforting musk. Lister sighed and pulled his head round so that their lips met. 

He was home.


End file.
